Why We Lie!
Why We Lie by Amy Impellizzeri
Paperback and e-book, 282 pages
Published March 5th 2019 by Wyatt-MacKenzie
Rising star politician and lawyer, Jude Birch, is clearly keeping secrets about his past from his wife, Aby Boyle. And Aby worries that Jude’s relationship with his campaign manager, Laila Rogers, is more complicated that he has let on. Jude has been the bystander victim of a seemingly gang-related shooting, but as the secrets Jude and Laila have kept since law school begin to unravel - with the help of a zealous news reporter and the Capitol Police - Aby is forced to consider that Jude might not have been an unintended victim of the shooting after all.
Meanwhile, Aby’s own secrets are revealed, despite her best efforts to clamp a lid down on a past marked by abuse and lies, and even a false accusation that still haunts her.
Unpredictable and unexpected, Why We Lie is a contemporary political thriller that examines the real life consequences of those who tell the truth about abuse and those who don't, and asks the question: is the truth always worth the cost?
